Definitions

  • an illumination system (illuminator) IL configured to condition a radiation beam B (e.g. UV radiation or EUV radiation).
  • a radiation beam B e.g. UV radiation or EUV radiation.
  • a support structure e.g. a mask table
  • MT constructed to support a patterning device (e.g. a mask) MA and connected to a first positioner PM configured to accurately position the patterning device in accordance with certain parameters
  • a substrate table e.g. a wafer table
  • a substrate e.g. a resist-coated wafer
  • PW a second positioner
  • the image created in the slit is usually a factor (here called an image shrink factor) 4 or 5 smaller than the original so as to be able to produce patterns with very small details without having to produce the details on the patterning device in the same scale.
  • the second set of corrections relates to dynamic adjustments of scan parameters superimposed on the overall scan parameters set in accordance with the 6-parameter overlay correction model to provide an overall correction of the scan of the second pattern PT2 relative to the first pattern PT1.
  • a variation of the magnification in the Y-direction in a scan field 5a is implemented by a variation of a scan speed between the mask stage and the wafer stage in the Y-direction (figure 5a).
  • some regions correspond to deceleration (regions with arrows pointing downward) and some regions correspond to an acceleration (regions with arrows pointing upward) of the scan speed.
  • connection in Figure 6 is shown as physical connections, one or more of these connections can be made wireless. They are only intended to show that "connected" units are arranged to communicate with one another in some way.
  • the computer system can be any signal processing system with analog and/or digital and/or software technology arranged to perform the functions discussed here.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un appareil de lithographie comprenant un système d'éclairage conçu pour traiter un faisceau de rayonnement, un support pour un dispositif de structuration, un plateau pour un substrat, un système de projection et un système de commande. Le dispositif de structuration est capable de conférer au faisceau de rayonnement une structure en coupe et d'obtenir un faisceau de rayonnement structuré. Le système de projection est conçu pour projeter le faisceau de rayonnement structuré sous forme d'image sur une partie cible du substrat le long d'un axe de balayage. Cet axe de balayage est défini par une trajectoire dans une direction de balayage d'un champ d'exposition de l'appareil de lithographie. Le système de commande est couplé au support, au plateau et au système de projection afin de commander une action du support, du plateau et du système de projection, respectivement. Le système de commande est conçu pour corriger une distorsion locale de l'image dans une région suivant l'axe de balayage par un ajustement temporel de l'image dans cette région.
